Arbitrary file read via traversal segments
Published Sep 2, 2024 · Updated Sep 3, 2024
Path traversal in SpectoLabs Hoverfly before 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary server files through the simulation API. The simulation POST handler joins an untrusted bodyFile value to hf.Cfg.ResponsesBodyFilesPath without verifying that the resolved path stays beneath that directory. Exploitation requires network access to the admin API, which is not exposed publicly by default; successful requests disclose files readable by the Hoverfly process.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=0 <1.10.3
- Affected versionversion=< 1.10.3
